This was the name of a short-lived band in the mid-80s! The band featured 3 members of Duran Duran, and the song that Arcadia is best known for is "Election Day".
Arcadia were a pop group formed in 1985 by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor of Duran Duran, as a side project during a break in that band's schedule.
A famous bearer of this name was a 19th-Century mistress of King Leopold I of the Belgians, Arcadia Meyer (nee Claret). They had two sons together, George and Arthur, and was created Baronin von Eppinghoven. :)
There is a city in Florida by the name of Arcadia. It's mostly where surrounding Floridians go antique shopping, since Arcadia is mainly an antique town. I never knew that this was an actual name used on people, but I had always thought it was pretty. A nickname for Arcadia could be Cadi, like Katie but spelled differently.
